Yes!  I FINALLY got an official reply from Women's Health!  Here's what we do:

fill out the refund card, and write your original order confirmation # from Birchbox on the card, and drop it in the mail.

Yay for a straight answer! My number fit after my name, just squeeze it in wherever you find room!

Thank You!

same here but at least you can review it for points

i got this clinique repair wear eye cream sample with my sephora vib points and it has faded a lot of my under eye circles. bobbi brown's corrector is good as well. it's 20% off on their website until tomorrow /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I saw a commercial for the clinique Even Better Dark Circle Corrector. I wonder which one is better.

I have the Bobbi Brown corrector and concealer and I really love them. I came home and felt guilty about spending $56 on just concealer but it obviously made a difference because my husband told me to keep them.

I use drops to lower the pressure in my eyes. It makes my lashes very long, but also gives me pretty dark circles. I've been using the Even Better for a while and the circles have faded, but I still need pretty heavy duty product to completely cover. I like the Laura Mercier undereye pot, with camoflauge cream and concealer, plus powder to set it.

I successfully depotted the Mirenesse. The packaging was so pretty, but I really didn't see myself messing around with sharpening it all the time. It was a little messy, but now I can use a brush or my fingers to apply it and not have to sharpen it. 

That's a great idea.

BB responded on their FB page that you can use the order number found on your purchase history page.

Welcome!

Here's the Mirenesse in Quick Kiss on me (I think this must be the "orange" color all the fb complainers were mad about). I can see why some people might not like it, but I think it suits me and I'm really glad I got it in my box.

i'd say bobbi brown b/c i heard mixed reviews on clinique's corrector.

i just used my red mirenesse lip pencil as a cheek stain and it looks awesome. i rubbed it in my skin and i don't look like a clown, lol

 

[lovepink]

Hooray!  I am sure if I tried this I would look like a 3 year old scribbled on my cheeks!  I will be using mine for lip purposes only! Lol

Very nice color for you! I don't think I could pull off that orange- I like it!

Here's an indoor and outdoor picture of the Ruby Wing nail polish I got in peony, in case anyone was interested!

BTW- it really only changed colors in direct sunlight.. not just "outside"

So, I've gotten a lot of various oils in my various subscriptions lately. BUT this Caudalie Divine Oil probably tops them all. It smells amazing and it's consistency is very light, definitely something I can put on my skin and hair. I might be tempted to buy it after I use up the sample!

I love the indoor color. Oh my poor 100 points might get cashed in sooner than I hoped! Thanks for posting pictures.

I received the Ruby Wing polish does anyone know if you can put a top coat on it?

Yes!  I've been reading up on it (definitely going to order some, even though I didn't get it in my box), and you can add a top coat, doesn't affect the color change.

That being said, it only mentioned "normal" top coats, not mattifying or anything like that.  No clue on any type of special top coat.

Thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I put the Sally Hansen top coat (the one that speeds up drying time). 

Not sure if thats the correct top coat lol

I was worried because my nails don't really seem to change color when I go outside and its been pretty sunny. I got the polish in the color poppy but idk I can't tell when/if it changes

I'm wearing the polish in poppy (with a regular l'oreal top coat) and the color change is impressive, but only happens when I'm outside in the sun after a couple of minutes. It takes a while and it doesn't occur at all if I am in the car or during a short walk from my parked car to my house.

Thank you for the pictures! I thought the difference would be much bigger based on the picture on Birchbox.com. It also says that it "transitions from a soft pink indoors to a bright, saturated red in the sun", when in reality it looks like it transitions from peach to coral...

Oh well, it's still pretty!
